Ingredients
Patty Ingredients:
- 1-pound (454g) medium ground beef
- ½ pound (225g) lean ground beef
- 1-pound (454g) ground turkey
- A bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ½ – 1 cups (60-120g) breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Coarse salt
- Ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons (45g) Worcestershire sauce
Toppings:
- Arugula
- Heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- Pickled red onions
- 12 buns (recommend brioche)
- Slices of aged sharp cheddar
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
Sauces, as desired:
- Dijon
- Ketchup
- Aioli or mayonnaise
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground meats with the chopped parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and ½ cup of breadcrumbs. If the texture feels too wet, add in more breadcrumbs until the patties feel like they’ll hold their shape.
- Using hands, roll out into 10-12 even balls, using your mini buns as reference. Reminder! They will shrink a bit as they cook. Press lightly to form patties.
- Place patties in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare your toppings.
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill the patties to your liking, adding the slices of cheese on top of the patties once they’ve been flipped. Toast your buns on the grill in the last minute or two before the burgers are done.
- Remove from heat and place back into the mixing bowl if chilling to serve cold or place an even amount onto each plate and top with a spoon of goat cheese. Sprinkle fresh shredded basil overtop and serve.
- Build with desired toppings and sauces and serve warm.
